The Outback Spare Wheel Bag 3.0 is the essential part of our bomb-proof range - designed to withstand anything Australia throws at it. Built with 600gsm hard-coated waterproof canvas, ISO lab-tested fade-proof fabric (Blue Wool Scale 8), and premium YKK racquet coil zippers, this is the spare tyre bag built the way all gear should be.
01 - Exterior
Built Tough
600gsm hard-coated fade proof & waterproof canvas - gives the Outback 3.0 an exterior that shrugs off rocks, branches, and road wear. Upgraded with independently ISO lab-tested, fade-proof fabric rated Blue Wool Scale 8, the highest UV resistance grade available. This bag holds its colour and structure for the long haul.
02 — Hardware
Premium Hardware, Zero Plastic
Extra-thick metal zinc alloy buckles - combined with seatbelt-grade straps to lock the bag firmly to your spare tyre. YKK racquet coil zippers (the premium grade) run smooth and strong for years of hard use. Every connection point is a deliberate upgrade over industry standard.
03 — Inside
70 Litres of Clever Storage
An 840gsm PVC waterproof inner lining keeps your gear dry. The removable trucker mesh internal bag (included free) velcros into place and pulls out in one motion - perfect for separating rubbish, wet gear, or firewood without disturbing the rest of your kit. A drainage eyelet in the base keeps moisture from pooling.
04 — Security
Theft Protection Included
A 4mm coil security cable and weatherproof combination lock come with every order at no extra cost. Thread the cable through the buckle slot and/or zipper pullers and secure it to an anchor point. It won't stop the determined, but it keeps opportunists honest at campsites, streets, and rest stops.
01 | 600gsm hard-coated waterproof canvas exterior Rugged, highly abrasion-resistant exterior. Handles harsh conditions with ease. Reinforced bottom prevents sagging over time. Exterior |
|---|---|
02 | ISO Blue Wool Scale 8 — fade-proof, lab tested Independently tested to the highest UV resistance grade available. The canvas holds its colour in harsh sun — including Australian summers. Exterior |
03 | 840gsm PVC waterproof interior lining A heavy inner skin that keeps mud, water, and mess contained inside the bag — not in your car. Interior |
04 | YKK racquet coil zippers (premium grade) Not standard YKK — the premium racquet coil grade. Stronger, smoother, and more durable. YKK controls every step of production. Hardware |
05 | Extra-thick zinc alloy buckles Combined with seatbelt-grade straps for a secure, rattle-free mount on your spare tyre at any speed, on any surface. Exterior |
06 | Bartack stitching on all load-bearing points The same reinforced stitching used in tactical gear. Every stress point locked down so the bag holds its shape and strength under load. Construction |
|---|---|
07 | Reinforced base — no sagging A structural base prevents the classic deflated look you get with cheaper bags after a few months on the road. Construction |
08 | Drainage eyelet in the base Any moisture or liquid escapes through the base eyelet — no pooling, no odour buildup. Design detail |
09 | Removable trucker mesh internal bag (free) Velcro-mounted inside the bag. Pull it out at camp to remove rubbish, firewood, or dirty gear in one motion. Included Free |
10 | 4mm security cable + weatherproof combo lock (free) Loops through buckle or zipper pullers to deter theft. Both included at no extra cost in every order. Included Free |
Will the canvas fade in the sun?
No, the 3.0 uses fade-proof canvas independently ISO lab tested to a Blue Wool Scale rating of 8, the highest UV resistance grade available. It holds its colour in harsh sun exposure including Australian summers and outback conditions.
What plastic bin fits best in this bag?
A 35L slide-top bin like this one: https://www.bunnings.com.au/icon-plastics-35l-white-slide-top-tidy-bin_p4523147 fits well with plenty of room for other gear around it, . If you're using this bag purely as a rubbish station at camp, the removable internal mesh bag is ideal on its own.
How do I use the security cable and lock?
Thread the 4mm coil cable through the buckle slots and/or zipper pullers and loop it around a fixed point on your 4wd/caravan. The weatherproof combination lock secures the cable ends together. Alternatively, lock both zipper pullers together directly with the combination lock for a simpler setup. For more detailed info, check out out guide: https://echidnaoffroad.com.au/how-to-secure-spare-wheel-bag/
What type of zippers are used?
YKK racquet coil zippers - the premium grade. Heavy-duty nylon with an oval-shaped coil and reinforced thread protection. Stronger and smoother than standard YKK zippers. Lubricate with zipper lube every few months for best performance.
How do I install the bag?
Slip the bag over the tyre, feed the seatbelt-grade straps through or behind the tyre, and clip the zinc alloy buckles. For a tighter fit, try crossing the straps. For flush-mount spares, loosen two wheel nuts completely and leave the third near the end of its thread — this lets you swing the spare sideways to get your hands behind it easily. After ordering you'll receive a setup guide link directly from us.
What is the shipping time?
Next day postage. All orders include full tracking from our fulfilment centre to your door. You'll receive a tracking link by email as soon as your order ships.

Gail (verified owner) –
Received my tyre bag & the quality exceeded all of my expectations, I knew it was going to great but WOW this bag is solid as & extremely well designed, the metal double click buckles are also amazingly strong. Really appreciated the additional lock & cable to reduce the possibility of it being stolen.
Geoff –
Bloody tough bag, it’s bigger than I thought should have looked at the size but it fits well on my tyres all the same. It’s a great idea with the bag inside and great buckles instead of the normal plastic ones you get. The lock is an interesting idea and should stop the honest people or at least deter others

Received mine 2 days after placing the order, very happy, quality is excellent, great value for money👍
Iluka (verified owner) –
Bought for 150 prado.
Seems to be very good quality, I asked for the clips to be at the bottom of the bag which they are, since I’ve got no room behind my tire to do up clips.
Only problem is I can’t then use the lock etc which came with it. But that’s OK.
Looks very nice, just be aware if you have any brackets attached to the tire (antenna) the back of the fabric doesn’t quite go down far enough so doesn’t quite line up on the tire as well as I’d like. Unfortunately also sets off my parking sensors!
Good strong buckles and zips-after having a kings one a few years back this is soooo much nicer. Heaps of space inside as well as pocket in lid and pockets on sides.
echidnaoffroad (verified owner) –
Thx Iluka,
FYI the cable and lock will still work with the buckles at the bottom, you just need to feed the cable loop though the buckle prior to clipping it on. A lot of customers have sorted it this way.
Another alternative is to lock the two zipper pullers together using the combination lock.
Also, when installing the bag on a spare tyre that sits flush, the easiest way to do it is to remove 2 of the 3 wheel nuts and loosen the 3rd wheel nut all the way to near the end of the thread. That way you can turn the spare from side to side and fit your hand behind it etc, this will get it nice and tight.
You can also try crossing the straps for a tighter fit.

Very good quality, great support and quick delivery.
Ian J (verified owner) –
Very happy, I had been looking at way more expensive products but these ticked all the boxes at a way better price and they are great quality.
My Wishlist included good quality materials, steel buckles, good tyre coverage to protect the spares from the sun, a drain hole and separate bag for easy contents removal – these bags ticked them all.
I ended up buying two!
Paul5 (verified owner) –
Thank you. Ordered the wheel bag and has arrived to my front door within 3 days. Fantastic service. The bag looks to be of great quality. My arcpit fire pit fits over spare tyre and wheel bag very well. Look forward to using on our next trip away. A Very happy customer. Paul D.

Awesome bag from an Awesome company.
Only ordered it yesterday & the bag arrived today & I was not disappointed. Fits like a glove & even comes with security cable & padlock.
Highly recommended.
Kym (verified owner) –
Just recieved my wheel bag today. I am blown away with the quality of this bag. It’s a ripper! I have lubricated the zipper and inserted a large rectangle rubbish bin inside and still have room for my small lightweight aluminium fold up fire pit. Will be great to keep any wet smelly and dirty gear outside our van on our travels. Great feature to have the security lock included as well. Great communication with Mat when I stuffed up my address when ordering. Do yourself a favour and order one stat!

Impressed from the moment i pressed buy. Personal contact from the owner confirming my order and delivery time and instructions on how to install. Offered help if we needed it by contacting him directly. Bags arrived super fast and wow, the quality is outstanding. So durable and strong. These are going to fast outlast every camping journey we ever go on. Will definately be buying your quality products again.
